Universities Are the Bottleneck
Ottawa’s AI for All strategy aims to accelerate AI adoption through infrastructure, tools, training, and talent development. Its ambitions are necessary, but universities will be central to whether they succeed. Universities educate future workers, train researchers, and shape how new technologies are understood and used. Yet within academic culture, AI is still too often treated as a threat to manage rather than a capability to build.

Seen as Latino, Assumed Lower Class: Racialized Class and Immigrant Status Perceptions in the United States
Abstract Although racial and class stereotypes are intertwined, few studies have examined the degree to which racial perceptions are linked to assumptions about social class. Among Latinos, racial self-identities often do not align with racial classifications by others, complicating debates about their place in the U.S. racial order.
Immigration and Public Support for Social Policy: Accounting for the Gender Composition of Immigrant Populations
Abstract With increasing global mobility, scholars have debated whether immigration undermines welfare states. So far, no conclusive evidence of a consistent association between immigration and social policy support has emerged. This might be due to treating immigrants as a monolithic mass. To begin addressing this, the authors account for the gender composition of immigrant populations.
Short-Lived Relief: The Racial Geography of Rebounding Eviction Rates in Postmoratorium St. Louis
Abstract This visualization examines time series and spatial trends in eviction case filings in St. Louis and St. Louis County before, during, and after the federal eviction moratorium.

Abstract The authors report the results of an intervention designed to trigger cultural change in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academia. Drawing on Dobbin and Kalev’s managerial engagement approach, the authors mobilized faculty members as change agents by teaching them to deliver a prosocial bystander intervention curriculum to their students.
Abortion Bans and Interstate Migration
Abstract The Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling created a patchwork of abortion regulations across the U.S. Proponents of federalism argue that the easy exit option federalism entails allows people to flee areas that restrict rights. We ask whether people flee or avoid moving to states with abortion bans.

Abstract Background: Vaccination is a vital public health intervention for reducing child mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. Despite progress, disparities persist in fragile settings such as Somalia. Galmudug State faces challenges including socioeconomic inequalities, geographic barriers, insecurity, and limited healthcare infrastructure. This study examined maternal and child vaccination coverage in Galmudug, focusing on socio-demographic, healthcare, and geographic factors.
Social Class and Digital Divide: Analyzing Digital Inequalities on Census and Digital Behavioral Data
The concept of the digital divide is based on inequalities in access to and use of the Internet. Different levels of this divide are defined according to the type of inequalities users have to overcome in the digital domain. The first level of the digital divide is usually defined as inequality of access to the Internet and information and communication technology (ICT) tools (Hargittai 1999; Rogers 2001; Warschauer 2004).
Integrating Global Health Concepts into Pediatric Emergency Medicine Training and Practice: A Narrative Review
Introduction The global burden of childhood emergencies remains a significant public health challenge, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where healthcare resources are limited, and preventable diseases contribute to high mortality rates.
Ring hemorrhages in the central nervous system of severely anemic cynomolgus monkeys
Ring hemorrhages of the central nervous system (CNS) have been reported in the literature since the 1920s and have been observed in a wide variety of human diseases, such as pernicious anemia,24 trauma,22 overdose of certain drugs,25 leukemia,25 cerebral fat embolism,13 extensive burns,10 septicemia,23 and cerebral malaria.26 They are typically reported to occur in the white matter of the brain, but they have also been noted in the gray matter, as well as in the spinal cord.10,13 The classic...
The Feasibility of Investigating Acupuncture in Patients With COVID-19 Related Olfactory Dysfunction
Introduction Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is common, affecting about 20% of the general population.1 Furthermore, patients with OD are at increased risk of death2 and have psychosocial limitations including the inability to enjoy food and depression.3 Common causes of OD include inflammation from an underlying sinonasal condition, infectious (post-viral), idiopathic, post-traumatic, and iatrogenic following skull base surgery.4 While treatment of underlying sinonasal inflammation may correct OD...
Risk factors for incident peripartum mental illness in multiple sclerosis
Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with an increased incidence of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.1,2 For women, this elevated risk extends into the peripartum period.3–5 Since peripartum mental illness adversely affects the mother and child,6,7 early identification and effective treatment are important to improve outcomes. Prevention would be even more effective.

Faithfully Gendered? How Religious Attendance Shapes Views of Women’s Leadership in Politics and Business Cross-Nationally
In 2021, Forbes published an opinion titled “Could Religion Be Fueling the Gender Pay Gap?” (Webster 2021). Two years later, Le Monde, a French newspaper, published a similar opinion questioning whether religions “legitimize inequality between men and women” (Larousse 2023).
Clinical Efficacy of Hexue Tongbi Formula on Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Embracing Generational Labels: An Analysis of Self-Identification and Political Partisanship
In 2021, Vice journalist Bethan Kapur reported on a phenomenon of “Millennials Who Wish They Were Gen Z” (Kapur 2021). Citing the stigma associated with Millennials (described in the article as “self-obsessed, extremely materialistic avocado-eaters”), the interviewees expressed a preference for identifying as “Gen Z.” At first glance, this appears somewhat peculiar.
Conceptualizing the Commercialization of Human Milk: A Concept Analysis
Key Messages • There has been a surge in for-profit companies developing and selling human milk products targeted at vulnerable infants. • Guidelines and regulations concerning human milk products for infants are inconsistent, leading to concerns of equity, ethics, and safety. • Commercialized human milk products can be defined as the packaging and sale of human milk and human milk components for the purposes of financial gain.
A Qualitative Investigation of Factors Influencing the Integration of Complementary and Integrative Healthcare Recommendations in the Daily Lives of Patients with Cancer - Helena Dürsch, Ursula Boltenhagen, Cornelia Mahler, Stefanie Joos, Szecsenyi Joachi
Introduction Complementary and integrative healthcare (CIH) is a commonly used approach among patients diagnosed with cancer.1,2 In countries with allopathic medicine dominance, healthcare practices beyond conventional care are labeled “complementary,” “alternative,” or “non-conventional.”3 These include biological approaches like dietary supplements and phytotherapeutics, as well as non-drug therapies such as yoga, meditation, acupuncture, manual therapies, and spiritual therapies.
Comparative effectiveness of dimethyl fumarate versus non-specific immunosuppressants: Real-world evidence from MSBase - Tim Spelman, Sara Eichau, Raed Alroughani, Serkan Ozakbas, Samia J Khoury, Francesco Patti, Eva Kubala Havrdova, Cavit Boz, Murat Ter
Introduction Non-specific immunosuppressants (NSIS), such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and mitoxantrone, have been used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) for up to 60 years.1 The only NSIS to be indicated for MS in the United States and across Europe is mitoxantrone, with its indication in Europe being for highly active relapsing MS in patients for whom no alternative treatments are available.2,3 Despite a lack of data on their safety and efficacy from controlled...
Inactive and Quiescent? Immigrant Collective Action in Comparative Perspective, 1960 to 1995
Until recently, social movement scholars paid little attention to contentious action on the part of immigrants in the United States. The inattention ended after a surge in proimmigrant activism captured public attention at the start of the twenty-first century.
Application of the Person–Environment–Occupation–Performance Model: A Scoping Review - Julie D. Bass, Josephine K. Marchant, Stephanie L. de Sam Lazaro, Carolyn M. Baum, 2024
Introduction Conceptual models are used to inform occupational therapy practice and research. A model provides a visual image of constructs and complex relationships to help practitioners gather relevant information and frame problems that may benefit by occupational therapy services (Baum et al., 2005). In the 1980s, occupation-based models were emerging to emphasize our historical roots on occupations as means and ends.
How the Intensity of Preference for Ideological Judges Influences Court Support
Recent studies show that people support courts more when they agree with their decisions and less when they disagree with them (Armaly 2021; Badas 2019; Bartels and Johnston 2013, 2020; Christenson and Glick 2015). Though not without controversy, those studies analyze how people’s ideological agreement with case outcomes influences their support for courts. While that approach has expanded our understanding of court support, there is more work to be done.
Birth Spacing and Working Mothers’ Within-Organization Career Paths
Parenthood is a key part of the life course, affecting multiple life course domains, one of which is work. For men, fatherhood seems to have positive effects on labor force outcomes, but for women, motherhood is associated with negative consequences, such as wage penalties (e.g., Budig and England 2001; Hodges and Budig 2010).
Lottery-Based Evaluations of Early Education Programs: Opportunities and Challenges for Building the Next Generation of Evidence
Decades of research show that preschool1 helps prepare children for kindergarten, and in some contexts, improves participants’ outcomes into adulthood (Phillips et al., 2017; Yoshikawa et al., 2013). But much of this evidence comes from older, small programs, which differ substantially from modern preschools in their curriculum, funding, diversity of children served, and alternative options.
College Is Not the Great Equalizer in Japan
Sociologists have long been concerned with the question of the role of education in intergenerational mobility (Blau and Duncan 1967; Ishida, Müller, and Ridge 1995). Education acts as a mediator between class origin and class destination, while it also modifies the relationship between origin and destination. The relationship among class origin (O), class destination (D), and education (E) is often discussed within the framework of the OED triangle.
Evidence-b(i)ased practice: Selective and inadequate reporting in early childhood autism intervention research
Young autistic children may benefit from non-pharmacological interventions provided in early childhood, and various intervention approaches have been developed for this purpose. The evidence supporting the efficacy of these approaches is generated through primary studies of intervention effects, many of which employ between-group designs such as quasi-experimental and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Reducing Social Stratification Bias in Referendum Participation: Evidence from the German Local Level
Introduction Political participation is socially distorted. A large body of literature documents social inequality in political participation since individual socio-economic resources like education or income strongly affect the probability of an individual becoming politically active (e.g., Dalton 2017; Gallego 2010, 2015; Schäfer and Schwander 2019; Verba et al. 1978, 1995). Moreover, this inequality gap seems to rise (Armingeon and Schädel 2015; Dalton 2017).
Minority Affirmations and the Boundaries of the Nation: Evidence From Québec
Introduction How do ingroup members conceptualize their national community, and how do their criteria for membership relate to outgroup attitudes and support for policies affirming minority interests? How the boundaries of the nation are defined in the minds of citizens have important repercussions for intergroup relations.

It is part of a broader research project that aims to investigate SA literacy of pre-service and novice teachers longitudinally in the last year of TE and the initial years of teaching in schools.
Who Is Curating My Political Feed? Characterizing Political Exposure of Registered U.S. Voters on Twitter
Introduction The tectonic shifts in the media environment and the rise of social media platforms over the past two decades significantly changed the ways in which people are exposed to news and political information worldwide (Fletcher and Nielsen 2018). This trend has been particularly swift in the United States, as Americans are now exposed to news more often on social media than in print, and for younger generations, social media has become the dominant channel for news (Shearer 2018).
Reflections of Black Married Working Mothers Managing Occupational Roles and Racism
Introduction Mother, employee, and spouse are just three of several occupational roles associated with specific tasks influenced by society and culture (American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2020a). The wellbeing of modern working mothers is impacted by their efforts to balance multiple roles and related responsibilities (Bost, 2006; Pew Research Center, 2021). Black mothers have the highest labor force participation, 76%, compared with mothers in other ethnic groups (Roux, 2021).
Non-native Accents among School Beginners and Teacher Expectations for Future Student Achievements
Accurate teacher assessments of students’ abilities and skills are essential for children's educational achievement and attainment and, thus, for their later life chances (Farkas 2003; Ferguson 2003; Hallinan 2008). Yet ethnic minority students often face biased teacher assessments, which can have long-lasting consequences and contribute to inequality in educational outcomes (Alexander, Entwisle, and Thompson 1987; Gentrup et al. 2020; McGrady and Reynolds 2013).
Student Debt Forgiveness and Economic Stability, Social Mobility, and Quality-of-Life Decisions: Results from a Survey Experiment
According to a recent report from the Federal Reserve, the national student debt amount in the third quarter of 2023 was over $1.7 trillion spread across over 43 million borrowers (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 2023). At the same time, roughly four million student loans enter default each year—affecting millions of borrowers and their families (Hanson 2023).
Children’s Academic Achievement and Behavior Problems at the Intersection of Gender and Family Environment
Girls consistently outperform boys in high school graduation, immediate college enrollment, and college performance (Bozick and DeLuca 2005; Conger and Long 2010). Trends in college graduation also show a striking reversal of the gender gap that once favored males (Buchmann and DiPrete 2006; Buchmann, DiPrete, and McDaniel 2008). At the same time, women remain underrepresented in STEM majors and earn fewer STEM degrees (Xie, Fang, and Shauman 2015).
Unraveling the “Greener Pastures” Concept: The Phenomenology of Internationally Educated Occupational Therapists
Introduction Due to the continued population growth and longer life expectancy worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2016) estimates an 18-million health care workforce deficit by 2030.
Children’s domain-specific self-evaluations and global self-worth: A preregistered cross-cultural meta-analysis
What do you like about yourself? When asked this question, an 8 year-old may provide many possible answers, often including self-evaluations in specific domains, such as athletic competence (e.g., “I’m good at sports”), social relationships (e.g., “I have many friends”), and physical appearance (e.g., “I like the way I look”). From middle childhood, children readily incorporate domain-specific self-evaluations into their global self-worth (e.g., “I’m happy with myself”; Harter, 2012).
Mental Health Effects of Income over the Adult Life Course
Two-Stage Least Squares Estimation of Causal Income Effect The 2SLS models assess the extent of bias in the income-depression gradient resulting from factors in addition to those discussed previously. The first-stage regression predicts the proportion of income that is in turn predicted by the EA-PGI.
Osteochondrosis in the central and third tarsal bones of young horses
Developmental orthopedic diseases are a group of clinical entities that are frequently diagnosed in young horses.30 The most common of them is osteochondrosis, defined as a focal disturbance in endochondral ossification.18 Endochondral ossification occurs within growth cartilage found in 2 locations at either end of long bones: the metaphyseal growth plate, or physis, located between the primary diaphyseal and secondary epiphyseal centers of ossification, and the articular-epiphyseal...
Exposure to systemic antibiotics in outpatient care and the risk of multiple sclerosis
Discussion We found no associations between MS and exposure to prescription antibiotics between 5 and 20 years of age. Furthermore, in the 6-year period before first MS symptoms, only women’s use of fluoroquinolones was associated with MS risk. Fluoroquinolones are recommended in outpatient care primarily for pneumonia and urinary tract infections (UTI) in Finland.
Facial Reactivity to Emotional Stimuli is Related to Empathic Concern, Empathic Distress, and Depressive Symptoms in Social Work Students
Associations between Constructs For emotional contagion, the results of our study suggest that the two instruments, the new objective standardized measurement tool and the ECS (self-reported) do not measure the same psychosocial constructs, which means that the likelihood of showing emotional facial expressions while viewing emotionally arousing video stimuli is not associated with vulnerability to emotional contagion, as measured by the ECS using participants’ self-reported measures.
